>trans·late>(trăns′lāt′, trănz′-, trăns-lāt′, trănz-)>v. trans·lat·ed, trans·lat·ing, trans·lates>v.tr.>2. To express in different, often simpler words: translated the technical jargon into ordinary language.It's not a good translation, to be sure, but it is a translation.

>>121311476>agreed on that the way it was translated was wrong.i.e. what is being said is that it ought to not be translated that way, invalidating >don't see anybody saying anything about how it ought to be translated

>>121309342It depends on the context, I guess. Although I do not doubt it's likely just a bad translation, way back when before moe was the big word, it was kawaii. Especially in the west, we used to use 'kawaii' in the place of moe before it was an established word I guess, we would bitch about the 'big wave of kawaii' anime and so on.

So they might have been trying to make him look like a super casual/out of date with the times? Probably not, if he said 'moe' and they put 'kawaii' then it's likely just s shit error but yeah.

>>121313142The short answer is that people erroneously use moe to mean cute because moe characters are often cute, and as such moe has almost taken on a slang meaning where it means simply cute and if you use moe to mean cute people will get what you're saying. The ling answer is that the proper definition of moe does not constrain itself to simply something that is cute, but instead extends to anything you feel a strong sense of attachment to. So the short answer is yes and the long answer is no

This thread is basically proof that no one actually watches the anime they are discussing, and everyone just comes into controversial threads to shitpost and yell things at each other without any kind of evidence or basis for doing so. Also that people have forgotten that 4chan is not a credible source of information regarding anything.

>>121314977Because some random shit doing meme subs is nothing new? Because the topic of the thread is "Is Crunchy getting worse and worse nowadays?" and the bitching that ensues from people who have not even watched the show but want to fit in?

>>121314893The premise of the thread is moe being translated as kawaii being fucking stupid. It possibly being CR is just circumstantial.

Speaking of weird reverse 'translations', this bugged me for a very long time. The spoken line says they're like three sisters (sanshimai) but for some reason the subber subbed it as them looking 川 (kawanoji), which is an actual thing, but not even remotely close to what she said. It's absolutely impossible to mix up those sets of syllables. It's like some bizarre backwards localization.
